Mechanical potentiometer replacement in new designs Transducer adjustment of pressure, temperature, position,
chemical, and optical sensors RF amplifier biasing Automotive electronics adjustment Gain control and offset adjustment
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The AD5160 provides a compact 2.9 mm × 3 mm packaged solution for 256-position adjustment applications. These devices perform the same electronic adjustment function as mechanical potentiometers or variable resistors, with enhanced resolution, solid-state reliability, and superior low temperature coefficient performance.
The wiper settings are controllable through an SPI compatible digital interface. The resistance between the wiper and either end point of the fixed resistor varies linearly with respect to the digital code transferred into the RDAC latch.
Operating from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V power supply and consuming less than 5 µA allows for usage in portable battery-operated applications.

NOTES 1 Typical specifications represent average readings at +25°C and VDD = 5 V. 2 Resistor position nonlinearity error R-INL is the deviation from an ideal value measured between the maximum resistance and the minimum resistance wiper
positions. R-DNL measures the relative step change from ideal between successive tap positions. Parts are guaranteed monotonic. 3 VAB = VDD, Wiper (VW) = no connect. 4 INL and DNL are measured at VW with the RDAC configured as a potentiometer divider similar to a voltage output D/A converter. VA = VDD and VB = 0 V.
DNL specification limits of ±1 LSB maximum are guaranteed monotonic operating conditions. 5 Resistor terminals A, B, W have no limitations on polarity with respect to each other. 6 Guaranteed by design and not subject to production test. 7 Measured at the A terminal. The A terminal is open circuited in shutdown mode. 8 PDISS is calculated from (IDD × VDD). CMOS logic level inputs result in minimum power dissipation. 9 All dynamic characteristics use VDD = 5 V. 10 See timing diagram for location of measured values. All input control voltages are specified with tR = tF = 2 ns (10% to 90% of 3 V) and timed from a voltage
level of 1.5 V.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

OPERATION The AD5160 is a 256-position digitally controlled variable resistor (VR) device.
An internal power-on preset places the wiper at midscale during power-on, which simplifies the fault condition recovery at power-up.
PROGRAMMING THE VARIABLE RESISTOR Rheostat Operation The nominal resistance of the RDAC between terminals A and B is available in 5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 100 kΩ. The final two or three digits of the part number determine the nominal resistance value, e.g., 10 kΩ = 10; 50 kΩ = 50. The nominal resistance (RAB) of the VR has 256 contact points accessed by the wiper terminal, plus the B terminal contact. The 8-bit data in the RDAC latch is decoded to select one of the 256 possible settings. Assume a 10 kΩ part is used, the wiper’s first connection starts at the B terminal for data 0x00. Since there is a 60 Ω wiper contact resistance, such connection yields a minimum of 60 Ω resistance between terminals W and B. The second connection is the first tap point, which corresponds to 99 Ω (RWB = RAB/256 + RW = 39 Ω + 60 Ω) for data 0x01. The third connection is the next tap point, representing 177 Ω (2 × 39 Ω + 60 Ω) for data 0x02, and so on. Each LSB data value increase moves the wiper up the resistor ladder until the last tap point is reached at 9961 Ω (RAB – 1 LSB + RW). Figure 38 shows a simplified diagram of the equivalent RDAC circuit where the last resistor string will not be accessed; therefore, there is 1 LSB less of the nominal resistance at full scale in addition to the wiper resistance.

where D is the decimal equivalent of the binary code loaded in the 8-bit RDAC register, RAB is the end-to-end resistance, and RW is the wiper resistance contributed by the on resistance of the internal switch.
In summary, if RAB = 10 kΩ and the A terminal is open circuited, the following output resistance RWB will be set for the indicated RDAC latch codes.

Note that in the zero-scale condition a finite wiper resistance of 60 Ω is present. Care should be taken to limit the current flow between W and B in this state to a maximum pulse current of no more than 20 mA. Otherwise, degradation or possible destruction of the internal switch contact can occur.
Similar to the mechanical potentiometer, the resistance of the RDAC between the wiper W and terminal A also produces a digitally controlled complementary resistance RWA. When these terminals are used, the B terminal can be opened. Setting the resistance value for RWA starts at a maximum value of resistance and decreases as the data loaded in the latch increases in value. The general equation for this operation is

For RAB = 10 kΩ and the B terminal open circuited, the following output resistance RWA will be set for the indicated RDAC latch codes.

Typical device to device matching is process lot dependent and may vary by up to ±30%. Since the resistance element is processed in thin film technology, the change in RAB with temperature has a very low 45 ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

PROGRAMMING THE POTENTIOMETER DIVIDER Voltage Output Operation The digital potentiometer easily generates a voltage divider at wiper-to-B and wiper-to-A proportional to the input voltage at A-to-B. Unlike the polarity of VDD to GND, which must be positive, voltage across A-B, W-A, and W-B can be at either polarity.
If ignoring the effect of the wiper resistance for approximation, connecting the A terminal to 5 V and the B terminal to ground produces an output voltage at the wiper-to-B starting at 0 V up to 1 LSB less than 5 V. Each LSB of voltage is equal to the voltage applied across terminal AB divided by the 256 positions of the potentiometer divider. The general equation defining the output voltage at VW with respect to ground for any valid input voltage applied to terminals A and B is

Operation of the digital potentiometer in the divider mode results in a more accurate operation over temperature. Unlike the rheostat mode, the output voltage is dependent mainly on the ratio of the internal resistors RWA and RWB and not the absolute values. Therefore, the temperature drift reduces to 15 ppm/°C.
SPI COMPATIBLE 3-WIRE SERIAL BUS The AD5160 contains a 3-wire SPI compatible digital interface (SDI, CS, and CLK). The 8-bit serial word must be loaded MSB first. The format of the word is shown in Table 5.
The positive-edge sensitive CLK input requires clean transitions to avoid clocking incorrect data into the serial input register. Standard logic families work well. If mechanical switches are used for product evaluation, they should be debounced by a flip-flop or other suitable means. When CS is low, the clock loads data into the serial register on each positive clock edge (see Figure 36).
The data setup and data hold times in the specification table determine the valid timing requirements. The AD5160 uses an 8-bit serial input data register word that is transferred to the internal RDAC register when the CS line returns to logic high. Extra MSB bits are ignored.
ESD PROTECTION All digital inputs are protected with a series input resistor and parallel Zener ESD structures shown in Figure 39 and Figure 40. This applies to the digital input pins SDI, CLK, and CS.

TERMINAL VOLTAGE OPERATING RANGE The AD5160 VDD and GND power supply defines the boundary conditions for proper 3-terminal digital potentiometer operation. Supply signals present on terminals A, B, and W that exceed VDD or GND will be clamped by the internal forward biased diodes (see Figure 41).

POWER-UP SEQUENCE Since the ESD protection diodes limit the voltage compliance at terminals A, B, and W (see Figure 41), it is important to power VDD/GND before applying any voltage to terminals A, B, and W; otherwise, the diode will be forward biased such that VDD will be powered unintentionally and may affect the rest of the user’s circuit. The ideal power-up sequence is in the following order: GND, VDD, digital inputs, and then VA/B/W. The relative order of powering VA, VB, VW, and the digital inputs is not important as long as they are powered after VDD/GND.

LAYOUT AND POWER SUPPLY BYPASSING It is a good practice to employ compact, minimum lead length layout design. The leads to the inputs should be as direct as possible with a minimum conductor length. Ground paths should have low resistance and low inductance.
Similarly, it is also a good practice to bypass the power supplies with quality capacitors for optimum stability. Supply leads to the device should be bypassed with disc or chip ceramic capacitors of 0.01 µF to 0.1 µF. Low ESR 1 µF to 10 µF tantalum or electrolytic capacitors should also be applied at the supplies to minimize any transient disturbance and low frequency ripple (see Figure 42). Note that the digital ground should also be joined remotely to the analog ground at one point to minimize the ground bounce.

ESD CAUTION ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although this product features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
